Although Julia Louis-Dreyfus has appeared in several comical Old Navy commercials in the past, this new back to school shopping commercial from the clothing retailer is her best one yet.
The ad called 'Picture Day' features the female actress as a parent who is completely out of touch with what kids actually want. This is proven on several occasions, especially when her son gripes about being sent to picture day wearing a full suit and tie.
Hilarity ensues when the overbearing mother addresses a group of cool youths dressed from head-to-toe in affordable Old Navy fashion, who share some of the incredible deals that the retailer is now offering, such as jeans for students for only eight dollars, as well as adult jeans for less than $20.
